Cute!   And a good use for the old Aerogloss camo paint in my basement.

It just occured to me.  How do you fish the engine through that cowl?

I remove the cylinder, slide the cowl over the engine, reinstall the cylinder then attach the cowl to the bulkhead.  In the past I have slotted the cowl but I think that this looks better.  ;D

Cool unit!!  I'm surprised that Walter didn't beat you to it.

Because of the fat front end this plane will probably fare better using a diesel .049 or a Texaco with a 7" prop.
